Looks like a good objective. The i.MX display pipeline is reasonably reverse engineered to have a full open open source experience.
Reading this list I guess you'll need a few things before you start:
- Check is the i.MX7 fits the powerprofile
it does. it's only a dual-core Cortex A7 so will be fine.
- Find a reference design. NDA free
done already. found. already started a conversion process, which i'll hand over to vincent shortly. vincent: the only thing is, once you're in altium i can't directly help you further: any help will have to be done by either screenshots, PDFs, or in the case of the PCB layout with gerber files. one-way output in other words.
- Check if the i.MX7 has all required outputs.
it does.
Or needs converter IC's
it doesn't.
